Why flagged

The package installs a known Ruby gem from the official RubyGems repository by name, which is a standard and expected practice for AUR Ruby packages; the use of a variable does not obscure the source, as gems are fetched from the trusted central repository by default.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package installs a known Ruby gem from the official RubyGems repository by name, which is a standard and expected practice for AUR Ruby packages; the use of a variable does not obscure the source, as gems are fetched from the trusted central repository by default.

PKGBUILD:17 gem install --no-user-install --ignore-dependencies -i "$pkgdir$_gemdir" -n "$pkgdir/usr/bin" -v 0.6.0 $_gemname

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

PKGBUILD:17 gem install --no-user-install --ignore-dependencies -i "$pkgdir$_gemdir" -n "$pkgdir/usr/bin" -v 0.6.0 $_gemname
